I own every one of Lindsey Bareham's books, and each one of them deserves a place in these hallowed halls. But perhaps it is right that this one is first to come to Cookbook Corner: there isn't a recipe in here I don't want to make right now; but just as much, this is a book to read as well as cook from. And actually, I love it so much that along — of course — with my books, I am gave it to my daughter to provide comfort, pleasure and instruction when she went off to university and her first independent kitchen in the autumn.
I've chosen this recipe because I am — as many of you know — an utter pav-addict, and I feel compelled to take my familiar pavlova and turn it into an English-summer-friendly roulade. I consider it an Anglo-Antipodean (rather than Swiss) Roll!
